At Norbeck Montessori, we are able to provide the flexible environment parents need with the independent, nurturing learning environment children love!
How do we fare over other daycare centers?
Rockville daycares and preschools both provide childcare, but with different guiding philosophies. Preschools are more learning-oriented and help promote your child’s development beyond just looking after his or her well-being. While Rockville area daycares offer childcare and socialization, preschools offer that and more.
Great preschool programs have a thorough curriculum that helps children develop their basic attitudes and values about life and learning. The goal of our Rockville preschool is to help your child grow, discover, learn, and develop the skills needed to be successful in their school-age years and beyond.
The Norbeck Montessori Advantage
When it comes to early childhood education, Norbeck Montessori takes it a step further than traditional preschools. We go beyond simple before- and after-school care and help mold your child’s natural curiosity and love of learning. Here in Rockville, we go beyond simple childcare and instruct children in the areas of Practical Life Skills, Language Arts, Mathematics, History, Geography, and so much more.
Not only do children get to develop social skills with children both older and younger, but our preschool and kindergarten students learn independence and coordination through an individualized learning plan specific to their needs. We provide a safe, loving, nurturing environment for your child to be a positive influence on the development of positive attitudes in learning and life!
